A winter weather advisory has been issued for Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. for our area.

Snow will begin falling Saturday morning after 9 a.m. and will fall throughout the day. Snow totals look to be in the 3 to 6 inch range for most of the Poconos.

Higher elevations could see a bit more of an accumulation. The snowfall should taper off just before midnight.

Wind speeds will also be high during the day with sustained winds of 10-15 mph with higher gusts. This will cause some blowing and drifting snow which may cause some travel headaches. Please use caution if you have to head out on the roads this weekend. - Tom LutzMeteorologist at Pocono WX
